While not as bad as coffee or red wine, unfortunately that lovely morning cup of tea stains your teeth. business.

Tea stains teeth due to an acid in its makeup, tannin or tannic acid. This acid breaks down or causes small openings like pores in the enamel of the teeth. These small openings allow the strong pigment of the tea to leech into the tooth, and cause strong stains deep in the enamel.

Green and white tea contain ingredients that are actually beneficial to teeth and enamel, so changing your tea to one of these varieties can help reduce the occurrence of stains.

Ok...I have green tea in the house and drink it occasionally but after reading this hub about all the health benefits I intend to drink much more of it. Thanks for this informative hub about soothing and healing herbal teas, especially Chinese tea. Definitely rated up and useful.

Hi Cheryl,

I just heard on the Dr. Oz show that sage tea is supposed to rev up a person's metabolism. Will have to start harvesting more of ours when it regrows after the winter months! I know that you like it.

Hello Peggy,

Sage tea is great and a powerful digestive aid. Thanks for your comment.

Hi Cheryl,

I learned something from Mae's comment about white and green tea not staining teeth as much as darker version. I guess it makes sense.

SHARING this with others who may not be familiar with the health benefits of tea drinking...especially the different kinds.
